Mike 180 was active on the Atlantic Division into 1974. It largely spent its time on the tri-weekly local to Zacapa
and alternated with Krupp 174. I rode both of them in March of that year.

Don't have my roster in front of me, but I believe that there were 57 Mikes of this class, 150-206.
There were 3 Porters, 13 Krupps and the remainder were Baldwins. Numbers 175-206 were all postwar, built in 1946-1947-1948.

The brakemen all rode the tops.
